A few years back, a guy told me that when people visit his home to play, they use cues from his collection. Not bargain-basement or standard house cues. This stuck with me as a nice idea. I'm about to finish my own pool room, and am considering the same approach. I have 2 house cues that came with my table (may or may not be worth putting new ferrules / tips on), and my own cues are decent quality but not super high-end. They're all straight, and have decent tips on them.
- Action player cue with wrap and maple shaft
- Action junior size cue
- Players wrapless with REVO shaft + maple shaft
- Meucci Merry Widow player with Pro shaft
- Jerry Olivier Merry Widow with wrap and CF playing shaft + maple shaft
- Jerry Olivier basic wrapless with CF break shaft
- super heavy Xcel breaker
- one of those ASKA cues from Amazon
- plus the two house cues that came with the table
(I also have two Catalog-era Palmers; those are for players only!)
Friends and guests vary widely in playing experience; most just here for fun and a very informal local neighborhood league.
Thoughts?
